DS Wholesale 与 Trade 对比：为批发而生的主题 vs Shopify 免费批发主题

Is Trade really free?

Yes. Trade is Shopify's free wholesale/B2B theme, maintained by Shopify. The B2B features behind it (company profiles, catalogs, volume pricing, quantity rules, payment terms, vaulted cards) have been available on all paid Shopify plans since April 2026; Shopify Plus still holds unlimited catalogs, direct catalog assignment, partial payments and deposits.

Do I need Shopify B2B to use DS Wholesale?

No. DS Wholesale reads standard product metafields (custom.price_breaks, custom.moq, custom.unit) and renders the wholesale storefront itself — bulk order grid, volume pricing table and MOQ hints — on any Shopify plan, without setting up Shopify B2B catalogs or price lists.

Does Trade show different prices to logged-in B2B customers automatically?

Not without extra work. The theme itself has no native way to gate pricing behind a customer login — you typically need custom code or a third-party app for that, or you lean on Shopify B2B catalogs. DS Wholesale surfaces volume pricing publicly from metafields, so the price breaks are visible on the product page as-is.

Which is better for a growing wholesale business?

Trade is a solid free starting point if you're already building on Shopify B2B catalogs and payment terms. DS Wholesale is a one-time purchase that gives you a purpose-built bulk-ordering storefront (variant matrix, volume pricing table, MOQ) that displays on any plan — without configuring Shopify B2B — plus a warmer, more brandable design.
